So, we have come up with an interesting idea for a contest for our meeting after the March 15th meeting.
We are going to have a contest where we build pens based on a theme much like the cooking show Chopped. If you are not familiar with the concept, chef's are given a box of ingredients that they must use to cook a dish with. The chef that creates the best dish using the ingredients in the box wins the contest.
For our contest, the principals will be the same, just creating pens instead of dishes. The premise is that you will receive a bag at the March 15th meeting, and in it will be some pieces of material and you will craft a pen using these materials. Each bag will be different, and it will be drawn out of a box randomly. Everything but the pen kit will be provided (of course if you don't use any kits that's ok too). The following meeting you will need to bring your pen and we will have some judges to determine who the winner is.
If you are interested in the contest, you will need to be at the March 15th meeting in order to be able to get one of the content bags to build with. If you are not present, you will not be able to participate (only exception being Jonathan!).
Prizes and judging will be discussed at the next meeting. I will prepare 40 bags so first come first served! Everyone who is a member of the Georgia chapter is encouraged to participate regardless of your experience.
Lets have some fun!
